Harry has a grown daughter away at school but he does not tell his wife. He writes his daughter and tells her of the fatal step he has taken and begs her to keep the secret. Stella has not played fair, for she has a son in college and has also kept the matter a secret. She writes the boy, telling how happy she is and begging him to help her deceive her husband. Harry and his wife both receive letters from daughter and son telling of their arrival. Harry persuades the maid to go on a vacation with pay intending to put his daughter in the maid's place, while Stella persuades the butler to take a much-needed rest, intending to have her son fill the vacancy. Harry meets his daughter and after much persuasion she takes the place. Stella has a hard time persuading her son to act as butler, but when he gets a good look at the maid he agrees hurriedly. The new help find each other's company congenial and finally get to the point of exchanging kisses. Stella happens in the kitchen during one of these friendly exchanges and upbraids her son for flirting with a common maid. The girl leaves and the mother is talking motherly to her son with one arm about his shoulders when Harry walks in. He gets suspicious of the butler and later on again comes upon the supposed butler kissing the maid. He chases him out, and while the daughter insists on quitting her position, Harry kisses her and begs her to stay a little while longer. Stella happens in at this time and there is more excitement. Harry refuses an explanation and wife seeks her son for comfort. Harry stumbles upon the two in each other's arms and swears he will kill the butler. The girl comes in and pleads for her friend and the deception of the newlyweds is found out. The two old people agree that everything had better be left alone and the son and daughter are given the place of honor in the house. Thereafter the old folks have competition in the spooning business. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
